DIY Food Coloring Fireworks Video Watch time under 1 minute July 3, 2024 Image Did you know you can create food coloring fireworks in your own kitchen? In this video, Alex Dainis demonstrates how common kitchen ingredients combine with food coloring to create colorful spectacles. In her first experiment, when water-based food coloring is mixed with oil, it forms tiny droplets. When the oil and food coloring mixture is combined with water, the oil will float on top, but the food coloring will sink and spread out like fireworks. The second experiment involves combining milk with drops of food coloring, and then adding dish soap. This will cause the milk particles to move around, bringing the food coloring with them and creating bright bursts of color. Try these two DIYs for a fun kitchen holiday project!
